Fall/Winter Open Design Team Call 2018

Hello Doodle Fans! 
We have exciting news!

Do you love sequins, shaker cards and all things shiny and sparkly?? 
Do you love being part of a community of amazing people who share a love of crafting and, of course, those sparkly things I mentioned before?? 



Well, We are holding an Open Call to add some new Designing Divas to the Doodles Paper Playground Family! We are looking to fill 4 full time positions, and a handful of guest designer slots on the DPP team (at least 3). 

If this sounds like something you want to be a part of, keep reading!

✨💎✨💎✨💎✨💎✨💎✨💎

Ideal candidates will be enthusiastic, confident, and LOVE creating Shaker Cards and other projects using Sparkle Blends, and all the shiny bits I can fit into one little ziplock bag! We are especially interested in adding a team member with an active YouTube account, willing to create at least 2 Sparkle Blends videos per month, but all candidates meeting the below requirements will be considered. 
(We might be willing to consider a Video Only team member on a case by case basis.)

Designing Divas will be expected to take clear, bright, high quality photographs of your work and to be familiar and comfortable posting your projects on a variety of social media platforms, as well as sharing promotions, giveaways, announcements and news related to the store. We also require that all projects be accompanied by a post on our blog (they don't have to be elaborate & can be copy pasted from your own blog.)

PLEASE NOTE: This is a short call. All applications must be received no later than 11:59pm EST on Monday September 10, 2018 to be considered for a position.

✨💎✨💎✨💎✨💎✨💎✨💎

Full Time Diva Requirements: 

Must reside in the USA.

Must love creating Shaker Cards, and creating with Sequins and Sparkle Blends.

Must be able to take clear, bright, quality photographs of your projects.

Must have an active Instagram and Facebook account, as well as an active blog that includes regular papercrafting related posts. You must be able to interact with the design team in our Secret Facebook group, as this is the fastest way for us to communicate with the team as a whole and is where the monthly sign up calendar will be posted.

Must be willing to help grow and increase exposure for the Doodles Paper Playground brand, and be an active, up-beat, and supportive member of the team. We expect posts on behalf of DPP to be professional in nature. We ask that you are encouraging and supportive both with the other team members as well as existing and potential customers. We want you to present your projects and feel comfortable sharing feedback, ideas, favorite products, tips and tricks.

Design team members are required to share a minimum of 5 projects per month (at least 3 of those need to be shaker cards), to be posted weekly, that will be featured on our Facebook page, Instagram and Blog. You are welcome to use any other products in your stash, but Sparkle Blends must be used prominently in your design & no other sequin mixes or sparkly embellishments are allowed.

Must be willing to participate in the mid month, Release Blog Hop, every other month to help showcase the new Sparkle Blends. Note: during release months, the Blog Hop counts as one of your 5 projects.

Must be willing to post design team projects on your personal social media pages and in any Facebook groups you are a member of that will allow it. We ask that you use specified hashtags and link to our exclusive retailer, whiterosecraftsllc.com wherever possible and always use your personalized watermark that will be provided to you.

This is a 6 month commitment. The Fall/Winter term begins October 1st 2018 and ends March 31st 2019. Our next release is October 1st.

Full Time Designing Diva Compensation:

We release new blends every other month (next release October 1st). During release months, you will receive Sample Size packs (1tsp product per package) of ALL Sparkle Blends in that release. There will always be at least 6 blends per release. Whichever blend you indicate is your favorite when I give sneak peeks, you will receive in a full size package.

On "Off Months" I will issue a list of blends I have in stock. You may select either 2 full size packages or 4 mini packages of your choice & are permitted to use any (not retired) blends from your stash.

Additional exposure for your work, as we will be featuring it on our company social media pages and Blog.

Links back to your personal blog, and tag backs on Instagram and facebook for posts featuring your work, as often as possible. (I'm a busy mom of a special needs child. There just aren't enough hours some days)

A supportive team, dedicated to encouraging each other, building collective confidence, and sharing knowledge, expertise & inspiration.
